refinishing a CM9 slide

[Gatordave]

I was just wondering if anybody has refinished (blackened) a stainless CM9 slide and what does it cost? I am trying to save a buck by not getting a PM9, but if the CM slide can't be refinished I just may have to bite the bullet and get the PM9

Thunder 71 did it and it sure looks nice. See pic at link below

Wow that looks great. I have to consider that as an option.
Someone has also suggested the stainless blackening kit from Caswell Inc. Do you have any idea of how much Cerakoating costs?

[yqtszhj]

Not sure what it would cost. Also I heard that the Caswell won't give you the color or quality that you would want for a slide. I haven't tried it myself.

$70 for the slide, I can get you their info.

Thunder71, what was the turn around on the slide?

About a week, they do a great job.

Hmm.. I'm not too far from Easton either.

Lucky dog! Brian Ahearn does great work, I'm very happy with how it turned out.
